From Rogue to Hope
by allancarreon on Apr.23, 2017, under Film & TV, Geeky
Now that is just awesome. This guy spliced the ending of Rogue One with the opening of A New Hope, and you can see just how much attention to detail the Rogue One had to ensure seamlessness in its connection to A New Hope. They really could be just one movie.
I think it’s time for a little original Star Wars trilogy marathon.

The Storm That Could’ve Been

They truly missed the opportunity of a lifetime when they failed to cast Iman as Storm instead of Halle Berry in the original X-Men movies. Not only is Iman gorgeous, she also looks the part. She also has the perfect accent that is more appropriate for an African mutant worshipped as a goddess. Seriously, just look at and listen to her.
Ah, what could’ve (and should’ve!) been.
No One Really Knows The Square Root of 16.

This is old but still hilarious AF. What’s even more hilarious is how some people thought it was real. Parody generally isn’t for the brain-deficient, though to be fair, we’ve seen beauty pageant contestants talk about opposite sex marriage and “Iraq, everywhere like, such as,” so can we blame those who actually believed there were anti-Math advocates?
Especially when you consider the very real video being parodied and how moronic some of those real life contestants were.
Lord save us from the idiots.
A Very Posh Birthday

Despite all the criticism that she was the Spice Girl who sang the least, among other things, Victoria Beckham has always been and will always be my favorite Spice Girl. Even when she was still Victoria Adams, prior to her marriage to that gorgeous soccer player, she fascinated me: the classy style, the smouldering looks, the occasional smile, the cheeky deadpan humor. Victoria has a sophistication that I adore, one which I believe hid an ultimately down-to-earth lady (no matter what others thought).
And her singing voice? It may not be as powerful or polished as Emma’s or the Melanies’, but I always liked the quality of her voice in the same way that I love the bedroom-y, husky voice of Westlife’s Nicky Byrne (another “underdog” in his own group, love ya, babe!).
Luke At That!

So will they really be the last Jedi? Or will we see a rebirth?
I guess we’ll find out in December. Dammit.

Masterpiece Theater

Today, a true master of film celebrates his 78th birthday.
People will always remember Francis Ford Coppola for movies like Apocalypse Now and the Godfather series. And of course, rightly so. These are classics not just in Hollywood filmmaking but in the global realm of cinema.
However, for me, Francis Ford Coppola will always be first and foremost Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Buffy Horror Picture Show

I can’t believe I never saw these before. I knew Amber Benson and Anthony Stewart Head were the best singers on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast (hence they got a lot of singing parts in Once More With Feeling), but I didn’t know they did this for the Rocky Horror tribute.
Posh and Cords

Trust me, I would so watch this if they actually made a full-length feature. Victoria’s the best, especially because of how she can make fun of herself and the criticism she usually gets, and James is just too too adorbz.
